High court dismisses Kwame Baffoe’s bid to strike out defamation suit by Dr Ransford Abbey

The High Court has dismissed an application by Kwame Baffoe seeking to set aside the writ of summons and statement of claim filed against him in a defamation suit brought by Dr Ransford Annerty Abbey.

The court held that although the Defendant had raised the venue issue within the required time, the proper legal process was not to dismiss or strike out the Plaintiff’s case.

Kwame Baffoe had entered a conditional appearance and filed an application seeking to have the Amended Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim set aside or dismissed.
